What to Know About the Shade

So, what exactly is teddy bear brunette? According to Min Kim, "Teddy bear brunette is a rich hair color that’s most defined by its soft, neutral tones." This shade is similar to honey brown, but with a slightly older, more sophisticated twist.

How to Get the Look

Reece Walker recommends starting with a natural brunette base and adding warm, golden undertones to achieve the desired effect. For those with other hair colors, you can transition to a rich brown first and then add golden highlights using balayage or foiling techniques.

How to Maintain the Look at Home

The longevity of your color will depend on your wash routine. To keep the tones rich and vibrant, use sulfate-free shampoo and incorporate deep conditioning treatments regularly. When using heat styling tools, be mindful of the temperature and consider using a heat protectant to prevent color fade.
